Trade him this deadline in March! --- His value is possibly at the highest it will be and the Mavs need to get whatever they can in return for him.

Give him the rest of the season, then trade him this summer! --- Let KP get back and play himself back into shape/health and increase his trade value, but then move him this summer because clearly he is not the right fit next to Luka and with RC.

HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis | TRADED to WAS
(12-12-2019, 07:36 AM)ClutchDirk Wrote: [b]PORZINGIS FELT ALIENATED[/b] within the organization, and Fizdale knew his past Gasol saga loomed over a potential partnership.
Porzingis was rehabilitating his torn left ACL in Europe, with an expectation that he could miss all of Fizdale's first season with the Knicks. Regardless of whether the Knicks ever recruited a superstar free agent, Fizdale believed he had an anchor player who could keep the franchise competitive.
Porzingis felt an initial connection with Fizdale, only to return for the start of training camp and find a new set of frustrations. There were disagreements on everything from windows of time for Porzingis' rehab at the Knicks' facility to whether the franchise considered his presence a positive in its pursuit of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency, sources said.
The Knicks began gauging interest in Porzingis early in 2019. According to sources, New York offered the New Orleans Pelicans a package centered around Porzingis in exchange for forward Anthony Davis. But former Pelicans general manager Dell Demps showed little interest in that discussion, and the Knicks took that as an indication that interest in Porzingis might not be as high leaguewide.
Porzingis and his brother, Janis, who serves as his agent, had planned to meet with management to discuss his future in January. Once the Porzingis brothers found out that the Knicks were discussing a trade with the Dallas Mavericks, sources said, they hurried a meeting the next morning and asked to be moved to one of four destinations: the Nets, Clippers, Raptors or Heat.

In the famous KP meeting with the Knicks, the morning of the trade, the narrative gets retold with similar plot lines but it seems to change based on the perspective of the story teller.  I would like KP to detail it someday.  

I would like to know honestly from KP if he was mad at being traded to Dallas. 
Did he actually demand a trade or was he presented with same? 
If so, did he demand the four teams listed?
Spurs a destination, yes or no.
Did he actually say he would not sign the extension when the trade was reported?
Did he threaten to go back to Europe?
Were other teams actually confused or upset they did not get a chance to trade for KP?  Tampering involved?  I think the Knicks felt there was some of that in a few media stories about the saga.

I think he is happy with Dallas now and it does not matter so much anymore but I am still curious from his perspective how it all went down.  The Knicks are proven media manipulators and half truth tellers so I have trouble taking the their media narrative at face value.
